Andrews Park — Attraction in Norman

Andrews Park has 2 play areas. 1 is for smaller children, and is completely fenced in. Both play areas have updated jungle gyms with multiple slides and tunnels. Many updated benches have been placed all over the park. There are a couple of new picnic tables inside the toddler play area. They have planted new trees around them that will be really nice shade once they grow. There is also a very nice splash pad for kids, but it is currently closed due to Covid19. Norman Parks & Rec.

Also making sure the scheduled event's actually stay open until the...

This park use to be great to visit, since 2019 and a little before then it started to have a homeless population problem pretty bad. During covid it became worse this park unfortunately is filled with homeless people at all times of the day middle of the day they are sleeping at the bathroom. There's drug paraphernalia and drug use going on in this park. What makes this even more sad is that the city of Norman municipal office building is right across from them and the police station. Its just very sad that our tax dollars that pay for the upkeep and for this park in general for it to be overrun by the homeless population.
